ACADEMIC FREEDOM
On Ma~·ch 6, the annunl Sym­posium
in hol\01' of St. Thomas

school auditorium by the mem­bers
of the Honors Course in
Philosophy. The Symposium, un­der
the direction of Father Lintz,
had for its theme, Academic

COURSE IN ETIQUETTE
During the last week in Febru­ary
the College was graced by
the presence of a charming lady
from New York. Mrs. Margaret
Sherwood, who lectured students
on social behavior and custom.
The lectures included information
on introductions; etiquette in pub­lic
places, such as restaurants,
theaters, buses; and receiving line

Day Tea this afternoon. Today
the liissions entertain the moth­ers
as they follow the lead of the
Sodality which made the dnds
feel at home last fall. The moth­ers

Something new has been added
this year. There will be a Spring
Fashion Show exhibiting the new­est
of styles under the auspices
or Projansky. This new addition
will certainly add to the "touch
and glow'' of the entertainment,
and will give much enjoyment to
mothers and and daughters alike.
Coupled with the fashion show
on the agenda will be a play bear­ing
a mission themo, entitled
"Conflict of Minds." The plot Is
concerned with a young Cntholie
girl who finds the questions of
her non-Catholic friends difficult
to answer. The scene takes place
after dinner when the group be­comes
involved in a discussion on
religion. Like many of us, the
girl realizes, too late, the an­swers
she could and should have
given. She is the well-known "I
should've said" Catholic.
To add spice to our Irish stew

JlniL St. floseplt
Two days f rOm t his date we celebrate the feast of $t,
Joseph. It is difficult to speak concerning a subject of
which we fee l so deeply, but some scant words are neces­sary
to indicate the deep regard and devotion we have
for this saint. St. Joseph should be the mainstay of om·
devotion, occupying a prominent place in our prayers.
We should turn to him often, seeking the consolation to
be found at his feet. Much is said. and rightly, of the
great power of Our Lady in gaining the fulfi llment of our
prayers, but Joseph also guided Our Lord through his
formative years and provided a home for Mother and
Son. What a help he can be to us with om· problems of
youth and our dxeams of a happy home! Let there be
often on our liJ>S and in ouT hea•1:s the prayer, "St. J oseph,
guide us."
Salvation and tlte J!ab!f
American Civi lization 'has reputedly reached a very
high peak. It has more television sets, more new cars,
more prefabricated houses but fewer children. Along
with political figures, criminals and movie celebrities,
national magazines featu1·e parents of large families as
big news items.
Is this a Christian situation, this matel'ialistic one, in
which children, the primary reason for the family's ex­istence,
are limited in number for economic reasons?
Obviously the economy of the fa mily should determine to
some extent the number of its children. But this business
of economy can be greatly overplayed. Even Catholics
have a warped sense of values on the subject. They
wouldn't think of illegal means of preventin~ children,
yet in their own legal way they limit theix families to
the " typical" two or three in order to give them superior
advantages.
People who do this forget several thin~s. They forget
that theil·s is not a particularly substantial contribution
to the culture of the future, eithet· American or Catholic.
If this is done on a large scale, what kil1d of a culture will
survive? Tt takes people to pass it on. Also thev for~et
that God is all orovident and those who trust in Him are
never sorry. Of couTse they may never own a television
set o1· a new car or a new home. Their children may not
go to private schools. But they will have peace of mind
and know a joy that only large f~.milies do know. Even
more imnortant, by their very fAith in God they will be
helping to desh·o.v the hold of this materialism which is
turnin~ men's minds from theil· only important end,
1mlvation.
Vox Populi . ..
is VOX NOSTRI. That Latin phrase, "the voice of the
people," must be taken un by the Catholic college wom~>n
and applied to herself. Too long have we been a .P:roun
inarticulate, passive; either absorbing the teachings of
our professo•·s in silence without indicating to others our
feelin~~:s and opinions. or not absorbing that teachincr at
all. We have all heard of t he Christoph er movement. This
Is not a nromotion of that moveme11t. This is only a cry to
the college woman in the Catholic school tellino.: her to
use her God-g-iven abilities and opoortuni ties to !<neak
out to the world-to put forth the orinciples of Catholic
doctrine and ali l!'n the events of the world today with
them. Let the world know that you are! And that you ~ re
alive!

NOVENA SPEAKER
AT NAZARETH
The fli!Wt't ?td Joh11 J. Pa.·et,

of Grace at Nazat·eth College on
March 5th. The Novena, in honor
of St. Francis Xavier, is spon­sored
by the Fremin ]\fission
Unit.
Desct'ibing incidents from the
life of St. Francis, the s peaker

the saint has and encouraged stu­dents
to seek his aid.

ward to these ancient traditions,
but how many have eve•· thought
about their true significance?
Why, of a ll things, should we
have bunnies at Easter? The
bunny is met ely a hare, but ac­cording
to ancient Egyptian
legend the hare is the symbol of
the moon. As Easter falls on the
flrst Sunday aftet· the first full
moon following the twenty-flrst
of March, the bunny has come
into prominence because of the
moon's hnportance in reckoning
the date of Easter.

TESTING PROGRAM

The annual test arranged by

regular classes, spent the day
taking these tests which consisted
of English, General Culture, and
Contempo•·ary Affairs. The · pur­pose
of such a program is to show
each student where he s tands with
other sophomores throughout the
nation; to ptove how well in~

him whethm· or not he is of co) ..
lege calibre.
Under the first reading, me­chanics

PRESS ROOM SCRATCHES
For the Sophomo1-es the past
month has been a matter of peck­ing
ar ound fot· news- any news
(as long as it was news) to put
in the Sophomore edition of the
Gfeanet·. You would be SUI'J)t'ised
at the amount of news you can't
find. And so little to say about
what you do find! This could be
called a colyum, \ve suppose, and
every word a complaint.
Fron~ the moment we set out
with clean pad, sharpened pencils,
,, I a nd eager hearts until we ean1e back with our pads scribbled over,
our pencils blunt, and our hearts
palpitating from exertion, we
were on a tireless hunt; but we
brought back the news .
Then we began to type. Every
sheet that came off the typewrit­e•
· (and most came off the type­writer
3 or 4 times) dulled our
eagerness and mangled our finger·
nails. Finally, we ceased typing:
but we didn't have enough copy;
and frantically we started in
again.
Then came the big moment-off
to the printer- and a way we went.
t.o Mr. Hickey with copy under
arm and fingers crossed. Mr.
Hickey gave us a royal welcome
and we left our copy in his care.
For two glorious days we had
n vacation. Things to think about,
of course, but nothing to do. o1·
almost nothing. Of com-se, om·
daily assignments provided a
pleasant background for all these
movements.
On Thursday, the galle)•s came
ft·om the printer and we became
involved in tYt>e sizes and proof
•·ending. Afte>· five hou>·s of work
we folded ou>· dummy and left for
home. We were almost finished!
We made another trip to the
printed to deliver the made-up
dummy. Mr. Hickey was as help­ful
as ever and we began to feel
like actual newspaper women.
Pe>·haps we can't talk to a printer
as if we know anything, hut we
keep tl·ying. It's getting easier
eve•·y time to conceal our ignoJ·­anee!
The final check was uneventful.
We g lanced through fo•· any typ­ing
enors that might have slipped
by, and b•·eathed a sigh of relief.
It was a ll over.
\Ve're afraid that th is issue is
going to he ou1· last for the year.
1'he Junio•·s want it back again.
And at this point they can have
it!
P.S. We really had a good time
on this thing. Don't believe all
that you read in the paper~
especially in the Sophomore edi·
tion.
TO BAKE OR-YES, TO BAKE!
Now that it's the middle of
Lent., all good cooks should be
re-sharpening their culinary wits
and looking for means to prepare
I their meatless meals in 20 differ­ent
ways, each of which is just
as tasty as tho first meal of Lc.nt.
' However, we wiU leave that prob-lem
to tax the brains of greater
cooks than we'll ever be, for even
a sophomot·e must admit an ama­teur
standing in some fields.
But one place where we shine
is in tbe baking of Hot Cross
Buns, and we want you to shine
there too. Het·e fo11ows a recipe

OVERSEAS
SERVICE PROGRAM
The student relief dl"ive under
the capable direction of Pat
Krenzer, Overseas Service Pro.
g>·arn Chairman, is off to a good
start. The money raised will go
to the following major projects:
The Rome for Displaced Women
Students in Paris; the Pius Xrl
University in Basutoland, South
Africa; and a new Jesuit College
being established at Guntur,
South India.
The Pa1·is home has already
been opened and is functioning,
but it desperately needs about
$2,000 to cover operating ex­penses,
and about $100,000 in all.
The Jesuit College in India is a
project for which the need is so
m·gent that even Moslem and Hin­du
elements in the community are
offering their help, such help as
can be offered in a land so filled
with poverty and affliction. The
cost of this projt1ct will run event.
ually to about $250.000. The
money raised for these pl'ojects
will also include necess.al"y ma­terial
assis tance to ou1· fellow
students ab>·oad.
The goal is 50c per student.
Students who can afford this do­nation

On ) larch 25, at three o'clock
in the auditorium, the Sodality

completed the probationary period
will be received into the Nazareth
College Sodality of Our Lady by
Bishop Kearney.
Their reception is the termina­tion
of n six-month probationary
period. During this t ime, the
candidates met with Father Shan­non
every W cdnesday afternoon
at 4 o'clock In order that he might
explain the rules of the Sodality
t<> them. Once a week, the candi­dates
met with a Sodality counsel­lor
so that she might help them
carry out their Sodality duties.
The main purpose ol the pro­bationary
period was to make the
candidates realize the responsi­bility
they are assuming as mem­bers
of the Sodolity. To them the
Sodality means n Way of Life to
be lived each day o! their lives
with the emphasis put on spiritual
matters rather than social affairs.
Rita Hlekey was in charge of
the probationary program. The
Sodality eounsellors were Connie
Van Kirk, Joan Winfield, Mary
Ellen O'Fiynn, Dorothy Rossi,
Ann Scheible, Mary Shults, Kath­ryn

Something new has been added
this year. There will be a Spring
Fashion Show exhibiting the new­est
of styles under the auspices
or Projansky. This new addition
will certainly add to the "touch
and glow'' of the entertainment,
and will give much enjoyment to
mothers and and daughters alike.
Coupled with the fashion show
on the agenda will be a play bear­ing
a mission themo, entitled
"Conflict of Minds." The plot Is
concerned with a young Cntholie
girl who finds the questions of
her non-Catholic friends difficult
to answer. The scene takes place
after dinner when the group be­comes
involved in a discussion on
religion. Like many of us, the
girl realizes, too late, the an­swers
she could and should have
given. She is the well-known "I
should've said" Catholic.
To add spice to our Irish stew

has been prepared under the di­rection

JlniL St. floseplt
Two days f rOm t his date we celebrate the feast of $t,
Joseph. It is difficult to speak concerning a subject of
which we fee l so deeply, but some scant words are neces­sary
to indicate the deep regard and devotion we have
for this saint. St. Joseph should be the mainstay of om·
devotion, occupying a prominent place in our prayers.
We should turn to him often, seeking the consolation to
be found at his feet. Much is said. and rightly, of the
great power of Our Lady in gaining the fulfi llment of our
prayers, but Joseph also guided Our Lord through his
formative years and provided a home for Mother and
Son. What a help he can be to us with om· problems of
youth and our dxeams of a happy home! Let there be
often on our liJ>S and in ouT hea•1:s the prayer, "St. J oseph,
guide us."
Salvation and tlte J!ab!f
American Civi lization 'has reputedly reached a very
high peak. It has more television sets, more new cars,
more prefabricated houses but fewer children. Along
with political figures, criminals and movie celebrities,
national magazines featu1·e parents of large families as
big news items.
Is this a Christian situation, this matel'ialistic one, in
which children, the primary reason for the family's ex­istence,
are limited in number for economic reasons?
Obviously the economy of the fa mily should determine to
some extent the number of its children. But this business
of economy can be greatly overplayed. Even Catholics
have a warped sense of values on the subject. They
wouldn't think of illegal means of preventin~ children,
yet in their own legal way they limit theix families to
the " typical" two or three in order to give them superior
advantages.
People who do this forget several thin~s. They forget
that theil·s is not a particularly substantial contribution
to the culture of the future, eithet· American or Catholic.
If this is done on a large scale, what kil1d of a culture will
survive? Tt takes people to pass it on. Also thev for~et
that God is all orovident and those who trust in Him are
never sorry. Of couTse they may never own a television
set o1· a new car or a new home. Their children may not
go to private schools. But they will have peace of mind
and know a joy that only large f~.milies do know. Even
more imnortant, by their very fAith in God they will be
helping to desh·o.v the hold of this materialism which is
turnin~ men's minds from theil· only important end,
1mlvation.
Vox Populi . ..
is VOX NOSTRI. That Latin phrase, "the voice of the
people," must be taken un by the Catholic college wom~>n
and applied to herself. Too long have we been a .P:roun
inarticulate, passive; either absorbing the teachings of
our professo•·s in silence without indicating to others our
feelin~~:s and opinions. or not absorbing that teachincr at
all. We have all heard of t he Christoph er movement. This
Is not a nromotion of that moveme11t. This is only a cry to
the college woman in the Catholic school tellino.: her to

TESTING PROGRAM
COMPLETED
The annual test arranged by
the National C<>llege Sophomore
testing p1·ogram took place on
Friday, March ! 3th. The Sopho·
mores, being excused from theilr
regular classes, spent the day
taking these tests which consisted
of English, General Culture, and
Contempo•·ary Affairs. The · pur­pose
of such a program is to show
each student where he s tands with
other sophomores throughout the
nation; to ptove how well in~
formed the student actually is on
present day affairs; and to tell
him whethm· or not he is of co) ..
lege calibre.
Under the first reading, me­chanics
of expression, e.ffective­ness
of expression. and 1·cading
comprehension wei'C checked.
The Gener·al Culture Test in­cluded
History, Social Studies,
Literature, Science, Fine Arts,
and Mathematics.

PRESS ROOM SCRATCHES
For the Sophomo1-es the past
month has been a matter of peck­ing
ar ound fot· news- any news
(as long as it was news) to put
in the Sophomore edition of the
Gfeanet·. You would be SUI'J)t'ised
at the amount of news you can't
find. And so little to say about
what you do find! This could be
called a colyum, \ve suppose, and
every word a complaint.
Fron~ the moment we set out
with clean pad, sharpened pencils,
,, I a nd eager hearts until we ean1e back with our pads scribbled over,
our pencils blunt, and our hearts
palpitating from exertion, we
were on a tireless hunt; but we
brought back the news .
Then we began to type. Every
sheet that came off the typewrit­e•
· (and most came off the type­writer
3 or 4 times) dulled our
eagerness and mangled our finger·
nails. Finally, we ceased typing:
but we didn't have enough copy;
and frantically we started in
again.
Then came the big moment-off
to the printer- and a way we went.
t.o Mr. Hickey with copy under
arm and fingers crossed. Mr.
Hickey gave us a royal welcome
and we left our copy in his care.
For two glorious days we had
n vacation. Things to think about,
of course, but nothing to do. o1·
almost nothing. Of com-se, om·
daily assignments provided a
pleasant background for all these
movements.
On Thursday, the galle)•s came
ft·om the printer and we became
involved in tYt>e sizes and proof
•·ending. Afte>· five hou>·s of work
we folded ou>· dummy and left for
home. We were almost finished!
We made another trip to the
printed to deliver the made-up
dummy. Mr. Hickey was as help­ful
as ever and we began to feel
like actual newspaper women.
Pe>·haps we can't talk to a printer
as if we know anything, hut we
keep tl·ying. It's getting easier
eve•·y time to conceal our ignoJ·­anee!
The final check was uneventful.
We g lanced through fo•· any typ­ing
enors that might have slipped
by, and b•·eathed a sigh of relief.
It was a ll over.
\Ve're afraid that th is issue is
going to he ou1· last for the year.
1'he Junio•·s want it back again.
And at this point they can have
it!
P.S. We really had a good time
on this thing. Don't believe all
that you read in the paper~
especially in the Sophomore edi·
tion.
TO BAKE OR-YES, TO BAKE!
Now that it's the middle of
Lent., all good cooks should be
re-sharpening their culinary wits
and looking for means to prepare
I their meatless meals in 20 differ­ent
ways, each of which is just
as tasty as tho first meal of Lc.nt.
' However, we wiU leave that prob-lem
to tax the brains of greater
cooks than we'll ever be, for even
a sophomot·e must admit an ama­teur
standing in some fields.
But one place where we shine
is in tbe baking of Hot Cross
Buns, and we want you to shine
there too. Het·e fo11ows a recipe
that is gua>·anteed to produce

SERVICE PROGRAM
The student relief dl"ive under
the capable direction of Pat
Krenzer, Overseas Service Pro.
g>·arn Chairman, is off to a good
start. The money raised will go
to the following major projects:
The Rome for Displaced Women
Students in Paris; the Pius Xrl
University in Basutoland, South
Africa; and a new Jesuit College
being established at Guntur,
South India.
The Pa1·is home has already
been opened and is functioning,
but it desperately needs about
$2,000 to cover operating ex­penses,
and about $100,000 in all.
The Jesuit College in India is a
project for which the need is so
m·gent that even Moslem and Hin­du
elements in the community are
offering their help, such help as
can be offered in a land so filled
with poverty and affliction. The
cost of this projt1ct will run event.
ually to about $250.000. The
money raised for these pl'ojects
will also include necess.al"y ma­terial
assis tance to ou1· fellow
students ab>·oad.
The goal is 50c per student.
Students who can afford this do­nation
will find thai it will be
graciously accepted by the fol­lowing
class chairmen:
